Hello,

I have sas code to run the weibull survival model, and is running with out any errors.

I do have P_1 in my test data. When am trying to score the data, but it popped the warning message.

The error message is :

bikash10_2-1650312503156.png

I am not sure what's going on. Any suggestions are very helpful to score the data. 

 

Thank you,

Bikash

Hello,

 

What version of SAS are you using?

Submit :

%PUT &=sysvlong4;

to find out !

 

I believe you are running into a problem described by this problem note :
Problem Note 58685: Incorrect results are generated in the PLM procedure when it uses an item store that is generated by the LIFEREG or RELIABILITY procedures
https://support.sas.com/kb/58/685.html

 

BR,

I checked the SAS version. It is SAS 9.04 version.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Hello,

 

Can you additionally run :

proc product_status; run;

?

 

For me , it says :

1    proc product_status; run;

For Base SAS Software ...
   Custom version information: 9.4_M7
   Image version information: 9.04.01M7P080520
For SAS/STAT ...
   Custom version information: 15.2

The problem note ( https://support.sas.com/kb/58/685.html ) claims this LIFEREG + PLM thing is fixed in SAS/STAT 14.2, but I wonder if that's correct? I think your SAS version (9.4 Maintenance Level 6) comes with SAS/STAT 15.1 (which is later than SAS/STAT 14.2).

 

Let me know ...

 

Thanks,

Koen

I ran this code and got 15.1. Here is the details:

proc product_status; run;

I generate the same error as you with PROC LIFEREG. 

Time to open a SAS Support ticket. Full code to reproduce is below:

Issue appears to be the same as @sbxkoenk identified, SCALE parameter is not stored on the model if you compare the outputs but it does say fixed and this is using a later version of SAS/STAT than indicated in the SAS Note.
